Online threats are coming at people daily from all angles due to the number of vulnerable devices on the market that is growing exponentially and because of the way more complex attack vectors are being used recently. Bitdefender BOX can give a connected household complete peace of mind by telling you if you are on a website that has malware. It uses a large database of unsafe links and blocks access to all of them, showing you an alert that the page has been blacklisted for safe browsing. When you land on a bad page that impersonates a legit one to lure you and steal your credentials, Bitdefender BOX blocks it automatically for your safety, whatever device you’re browsing from.
